You operate on the assumption that your (M) 15 year old hitman is some scary John Wick character but he's not. It's ridiculous to say that people should be afraid and flee in terror at the sight of a character that's not legally old enough to smoke a cigar.

Okay, go walk into a hood of armed and drugged up teens in the projects of Compton, then.

Excessive crime has created a culture where everyone is armed to defend yourselves. That's 100% the fault of criminals who created this environment. You reap what you sow.

 

The main problem is when people inject themselves in an RP scenario that doesn't involve their character, nor makes sense to involve themselves.

When did I say it was bad for legal roleplayers to shoot illegal roleplayers? I'm not saying they can't but more so talking about the people that go out their way to interfere in gang shootouts. Age doesn't matter when they have a gun on them.

We’re talking about people getting involved in shootouts here. Doesn’t matter if you’re 15, 87 and in a wheelchair, or a bodybuilder. Most people aren’t going to intervene and go vigilante mode whenever someone’s firing shots off. There’s no real reason for a normal legal rper to intervene in a shootout unless it directly involves them.

Funny how you bring up real life when it suits you but ignore that our server has 1000 times the homicide rate of Los Angeles.

Even the worst Favelas in Latin-America, riddled with armed teen gang members, have the adult civilian population fearful of their lives. Just saying... doesn't matter the context, most people should be RPing these neighborhoods a little fearfully as they aren't all ex-Army veterans that train in the range and engage in combat on the daily.

I have a deep dislike of people who think they get special consideration. If you can shoot up anyone you want, anyone can shoot you up.

Yes because someone with a gun license running down three blocks and gunning down four gang affiliated teenagers in the midst of a shootout that has nothing to do with that person is totally realistic.

This. I've noticed a lot of people roleplay these fearless individuals that instead of ducking for cover when bullets fly they'd rather take out their pea-shooter and fire back.

Armed civilians stop crime all the time. You don't hear about it because Liberals want you to think that armed civilians = school shootings.
